SLIDE 10: RESOLUTION 1 - Text

RESOLUTION 1: Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares - 18 September 2020

The first resolution of the Meeting is the Ratification of the prior issue of Placement Shares on 18 September 2020. The resolution is on the screen now.

On 14 September 2020, the Company announced that it had successfully completed a placement to existing Shareholders and new sophisticated and professional investors of 13,085,821 Shares at A$0.80 per share under the Placement.

Listing Rules Requirements

ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibit the Company (subject to certain exceptions such as pro-rota issues) from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (such as Shares and Options) representing more than 15% of the Company's total issued securities, during a rolling 12-month period, without Shareholder approval. This is referred to as the 15% Threshold .

ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.4 provide that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach that Listing Rule), those securities will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Placement was made within the 15% Threshold permitted under ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval of Resolution 1 for the purposes of ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.4, to enable the Company to refresh its issuing capacity under ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby providing the Company with the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% Threshold set out in ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval if the need arises in the next 12 months.

KINA SECURITIES LIMITED EGM 15 APRIL 2021 CHAIRMAN’S SCRIPT

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

I will now address any questions regarding Resolution 1.

Chetan to read this:

SLIDE 11: RESOLUTION 1 - Shareholder Question #1

Chairman, we have received the following questions ahead of today’s meeting in relation to Resolution 1:

  • Q1: From Raylene and Alfred Dore

  • Why has the company allowed institutional investors to make very large profits in the placement when ordinary shareholders are severely disadvantaged and suffer falls in their shareholdings value? This is unethical management?

  • A1: The equity raising announced on 10 September 2020 at AUD 80 cents / PGK 1.97 per share, was an Accelerated NonRenounceable Rights Offer at a ratio of 1 new share for every 2 existing shares held, and was offered to both institutional and retail shareholders on the same terms, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and regulations.

All existing shareholders had the ability to participate in the Rights Offer and apply for further shares in addition to their pro-rata entitlement. There was no preference given to any shareholder and a separate offer was also made to PNG registered shareholders on the same terms. No existing shareholder was disadvantaged.

The price of the issue was based on a Volume Weighted Average Price which is standard market practice. The share value is a reflection of the market at all times. The KSL share price has since recovered as expected and currently trades at AUD 1.035.

KINA SECURITIES LIMITED EGM 15 APRIL 2021 CHAIRMAN’S SCRIPT

SLIDE 12: RESOLUTION 1 - Shareholder Question #2

Q2: From Michael Henry Clarke

  • Is the Chairman aware, of which seller drove the KSL share price under $0.80, during the rights take up period for Australian long term holders?

If it was the underwriter themselves, who manipulated the price, to obtain the ensuing large short fall position, does the Chairman consider this reasonable ethical behaviour?

  • A2: It is inappropriate to disclose specific trading activities of specific investors/shareholders. Any price movements are a reflection of the demand and supply and market trades at the times. The Board in not aware of single seller or buyer impacting the price. Further, there is no evidence to suggest that the underwriters or any affiliates of the underwriter were trading and impacting the price.

Similar to Resolution 1, the Company is seeking approval of Resolution 2 for the purposes of ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.4, to enable the Company to refresh its issuing capacity under ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby providing the Company with the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% Threshold set out in ASX and PNGX Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval if the need arises in the next 12 months.

SLIDE 17: RESOLUTION 3 - Text

RESOLUTION 3: Approval of the Acquisition of Pacific Businesses

On 7 December 2020, the Company announced to the ASX and the PNGX that it had entered into sale and purchase agreements to acquire:

  • 89.91% of the issued shares in Westpac Bank-PNG-Limited held by Westpac Banking Corporation, Westpac Financial Services Limited and Westpac Securities Administration Limited; and

  • the banking operations and business owned and operated by the Fiji branch of Westpac Banking Corporation in Fiji, which I will refer to hereafter as the Pacific Businesses .

Page 9 of 14

Page 10 of 38

KINA SECURITIES LIMITED EGM 15 APRIL 2021 CHAIRMAN’S SCRIPT

Section 110 of the PNG Companies Act provides that a company shall not enter into a ‘major transaction’ unless the transaction is approved by special resolution of shareholders or entry into the transaction is contingent on shareholder approval by way of a special resolution.

A ‘major transaction’ is defined in the PNG Companies Act as including “the acquisition of, or an agreement to acquire, whether contingent or not, assets the value of which is more than half the value of the assets of the company before the acquisition.

Accordingly, Shareholders are being asked, by special resolution, to approve the acquisition of the Pacific Businesses as a ‘major transaction’ under section 110 of the PNG Companies Act. The sale agreement in respect of the Fiji business to be acquired is conditional on such approval.

The resolution is on the screen now.

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

I will now address any questions regarding Resolution 3.

SLIDE 18: RESOLUTION 3 - Shareholder Question #1

Chetan to read this: Chairman, we have received 2 questions from John William De Ravin ahead of today’s Meeting in relation to Resolution 3:

  • 1) When the acquisition of the shares in Westpac PNG was announced, it was suggested by KSL that the acquisition would be EPS-accretive. Is that still expected to be the case, and are you in a position to elaborate on that prediction?

  • A: Consistent with the announcement made by the Company on 7 December 2020, Kina continues to believe that based on pro forma 30 June 2020 consolidated financials, the acquisition of Westpac’s Pacific Businesses is expected to be accretive and will restore Kina’s earnings per share (“EPS”) to levels above those prior to the recent capital raising in October 2020. The EPS restoration will be reflected in the first full year of consolidated results in December 2022.

Page 10 of 14

Page 11 of 38

KINA SECURITIES LIMITED EGM 15 APRIL 2021 CHAIRMAN’S SCRIPT

Also, as advised, the acquisition is subject to regulatory approval in both PNG and Fiji. Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreements for the Pacific Businesses, we will continue to monitor the financial performance of the acquired businesses and the condition precedent that requires the businesses are to be managed as a going concern by Westpac.

SLIDE 19: RESOLUTION 3 - Shareholder Question #2

  • 2) Can you please comment on the risk that there may be a material loss of former customers of Westpac after the purchase by KSL of the shares in Westpac PNG is finalised? What steps is KSL considering to mitigate this risk?

  • A: Customer retention is a key priority and a condition precedent within the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreements with Westpac, who therefore have a vested incentive to ensure we retain customers in both PNG and Fiji. As soon as Kina obtains the required regulatory approvals, we will engage directly with Westpac’s customers.

A key benefit of this transaction is there will be no disruptions of the services that Westpac’s customers are accustomed to. It should be noted that Kina achieved 100% customer retention with the acquisition of ANZ’s retail, SME and Commercial customers in PNG. That was also a far more complex program of customer migration, which won’t be required for the Westpac transaction, as we are acquiring both of their businesses in PNG and Fiji as a ‘going concern’.

Look at monitor for on-line questions

Chetan to look at monitor and see if there are any questions submitted online in relation to Resolution 3.

If there are, Chetan to identify the name of the shareholder(s) and read out the question(s).

If there are NO questions submitted online, Chetan to read this: Chairman, it appears there are no questions submitted online for Resolution 3.

SLIDE 21: GENERAL QUESTIONS

That completes the formal business of the Meeting, and I will now address any general questions that we have received.

SLIDE 22: Shareholder General Questions

Chetan to read this: Chairman, Richard David Hughes has asked the following general question ahead of today’s Meeting:

  • Q: PNG women have a huge number of unwanted pregnancies, especially in the more remote provinces. Does Kina Bank fund family planning programs at present? And what plans to you have to increase funding and effectiveness?

  • A: PNG as an emerging nation faces many health related issues and constraints. Kina has a comprehensive societal impact program which is summarised in detail in our 2020 Results Investor Presentation available on our website. This program has four key areas of focus:

  • Promoting enterprise and financial inclusion

  • Helping to create the workforce of the future

  • Demonstrated thought leadership for SME sector, and

  • e-Commerce PNG targeted at the Public Sector

Page 12 of 14

Page 13 of 38

KINA SECURITIES LIMITED EGM 15 APRIL 2021 CHAIRMAN’S SCRIPT

Our view is that these programs are where Kina can create the most value for the country as a good corporate citizen. There are many active donor organisations and PNG Government programs directed at solving for the issue you have raised and any many more.

Look at monitor for on-line questions

Chetan to look at monitor and see if there are any General Questions submitted online.

If there are, Chetan to identify the name of the shareholder(s) and read out the question(s).

Thank you Chetan.

As there are no further questions, then that concludes the business of the meeting.

Resolution 3 Shareholder Questions

1. From John William De Ravin

Question

When the acquisition of the shares in Westpac PNG was announced, it was suggested by KSL that the acquisition would be EPS-accretive. Is that still expected to be the case, and are you in a position to elaborate on that prediction?

Answer

  • Consistent with the announcement made by the Company on 7 December 2020, Kina continues to believe that based on pro forma 30 June 2020 consolidated financials, the acquisition of Westpac’s Pacific Businesses is expected to be accretive and will restore Kina’s earnings per share (“EPS”) to levels above those prior to the recent capital raising in October 2020. The EPS restoration will be reflected in the first full year of consolidated results in December 2022.

  • Also, as advised, the acquisition is subject to regulatory approval in both PNG and Fiji. Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreements for the Pacific Businesses, we will continue to monitor the financial performance of the acquired businesses and the condition precedent that requires the businesses are to be managed as a going concern by Westpac.

Resolution 3 Shareholder Questions

2. From John William De Ravin

Question

Can you please comment on the risk that there may be a material loss of former customers of Westpac after the purchase by KSL of the shares in Westpac PNG is finalised? What steps is KSL considering to mitigate this risk?

Answer

  • Customer retention is a key priority and a condition precedent within the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreements with Westpac, who therefore have a vested incentive to ensure we retain customers in both PNG and Fiji. As soon as Kina obtains the required regulatory approvals, we will engage directly with Westpac’s customers.

  • A key benefit of this transaction is there will be no disruptions of the services that Westpac’s customers are accustomed to. It should be noted that Kina achieved 100% customer retention with the acquisition of ANZ’s retail, SME and Commercial customers in PNG. That was also a far more complex program of customer migration, which won’t be required for the Westpac transaction, as we are acquiring both of their businesses in PNG and Fiji as a ‘going concern’.

Shareholder General Questions

1. From Richard David Hughes

Question

PNG women have a huge number of unwanted pregnancies, especially in the more remote provinces. Does Kina Bank fund family planning programs at present? And what plans to you have to increase funding and effectiveness?

Answer

  • PNG as an emerging nation faces many health related issues and constraints. Kina has a comprehensive societal impact program which is summarised in detail in our 2020 Results Investor Presentation available on our website. This program has four key areas of focus:

  • Promoting enterprise and financial inclusion

  • Helping to create the workforce of the future

  • Demonstrated thought leadership for SME sector, and

  • e-Commerce PNG targeted at the Public Sector

  • Our view is that these programs are where Kina can create the most value for the country as a good corporate citizen. There are many active donor organisations and PNG Government programs directed at solving for the issue you have raised and any many more.
